spacealien_vampI am continuing to experiment with ways to use up the oatmeal left over from making oatmilk. I'm trying to do it in such a way that I also don't need any dairy or eggs. (I'm trying to cut down on the processed sugar, but that's a work in progress.)
This particular recipe turned out rather well. These instructions are for using dry rolled oats, but it's about the same either way.
Chai Spice Oatmeal Coconut Cookies
Makes ~2 dozen cookies.
Ingredients
10 large dried dates.
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup (1 stick) vegan butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup fermented coconut milk (or nondairy yogurt)
1 cup whole grain flour, sifted
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup rolled oats
Procedure
Heat oven to 350°F
1. Soak the dates in the hot water. When softened, transfer the dates and 2 tbsp of the soaking water to a blender and puree until smooth.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the date puree and coconut milk and whip until well mixed. Chill for about 30 minutes.
3. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add to the butter mixture in three batches, stirring gently until thoroughly blended.
4. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop a generous tablespoon of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets for each cookie, with plenty of room between for them to spread out while baking. Bake until browned around the edges.
